Friction Loss Calculator, Needed Fire Flow, Tanker Shuttle / Rural Water and Pump Discharge Pressure calculators. The user can enter any numerical value into each of the text boxes to find the amount of friction loss in a given length of hose. The app allows for any numbers to be used to accommodate newer hoses and coefficients. I have supplied two reference pages with the app for common hose coefficients along with common tip sizes and gallons per minute for each tip size.
